TimesSquare Capital U.S. Mid Cap Growth Strategy made the following comment about CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“In the Industrials sector we gravitate towards business service companies, those focused on automation & efficiency improvements, and essential infrastructure services. CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP) provides information, analytics, and online marketplace services to the commercial real estate industry. Second quarter revenues were in line with Street estimates while profits and earnings were above. Updated company guidance included a slight downtick in revenues, but an increase in profits. The company also increased its earnings guidance. However, the company plans to continue investing in the Homes.com initiative, which is seeing increased customer traffic and is taking market share. The specter of continued investments resulted in its shares trading down by -14%.”
